Gibson has announced they are honoring, what would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday, with a release of limited editions guitars that John played. There will be three models, which include 70 of the all white "Imagine" model, 70 replicas of John's J-160E and 500 of an earlier model that he played as well. Prices will range from $4,700 to $15,000.
One of the most sought after vintage guitars is the Fender Stratocaster Pre-CBS. Fender Strats are one of the most popular electric guitars ever. The early models, from 1954 to 1965, are known as the "pre-CBS" models, since CBS Broadcaster Company bought the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation in January 1965. When CBS purchased Fender, the "pre-CBS" Stratocasters became quite rare and likewise expensive since they are perceived to be made of a higher quality when compared with the post-CBS models. Recently, some pre-CBS strats have sold more than $175,000.
